INTRODUCTION The primary focus of this manual is to assist participating attorneys in creating electronic foreclosure case files that can be transmitted to and read by the New Jersey Courts via the Judiciary s Electronic Filing and Imaging System (JEFIS). The JEFIS Foreclosure Attorney Filing Manager allows participating attorneys to file documents in foreclosure proceedings with the New Jersey Courts electronically through the Internet. It also provides a mechanism for the New Jersey Courts to send correspondence to JEFIS e-filing attorneys, as well as direct case inquiry capabilities to e-filing attorneys. E-Filed cases are available to the public via public access terminals. Older, non-imaged paper-based files will remain available through the SCCO. This manual describes the data needed and used during an electronic filing. It provides details regarding how each document type is to be submitted and the components needed for each XML file. Additionally, it provides an overview of the public access systems: Automated Case Management System Public Access and NJ JEFIS Services. The key result of the Foreclosure Attorney Filing Manager is the creation of an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file sent in combination with the document(s) e-filed. Files can be created either manually, or by using the mechanized XML files. XML technology represents a standard method of communicating data that resulted from the need to improve the functionality of Web technologies through the use of a more flexible and adaptable means to identify information. 4
JEFIS Foreclosure Features E-filing through JEFIS is free. There is no application fee and no charge to use JEFIS. NOTE: Standard filing fees still apply and are paid through a collateral account. E-filing is available daily (23 x 7). All e-filed documents are saved to a Judiciary mainframe and backed-up regularly. Participation in JEFIS e-filing provides free access to ACMS-PA, JEFIS case jackets and electronic access to collateral accounts. JEFIS Foreclosure System Requirements Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 or higher. MS-Windows operating system (Windows 7, XP or Vista) using a minimum screen resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels.

Optional Requirements A word processing application to create Rich Text Format (RTF) files.

JEFIS FORECLOSURE E-FILING DOCUMENT FORMATS Four file formats can be used in the process of e-filing JEFIS Foreclosure documents: Rich Text Format (RTF) Tagged Image Format (TIF) Portable Document Format (PDF) For each document submitted, a Lead file designation is required (at a minimum) while the Exhibit document is optional in most cases. These documents can be in.pdf,.rtf or.tif format. Below is a sample e-filing package for an Answer document: Answer.RTF (lead) Exhibit.TIF (exhibit) Exhibit.PDF (exhibit) Answer.XML (created during the process of efiling) The discussion that follows provides a description of the creation of these file types. Rich Text Format (RTF) Files To e-file a pleading document such as a complaint, answer or motion, the document can be created in a word processing application and saved as an RTF document. When using a word processing application to create pleading documents it is important to adhere to the following restrictions: Do not protect documents with passwords. Do not include formulas in documents such as an automatic date function. Do not use proprietary fonts on documents. It is recommended to create documents for e-filing, using fonts available with Windows, such as Arial or Times New Roman, and a 10 or 12 point font size. Documents containing passwords, formulas or proprietary fonts will not be processed by JEFIS and will be returned to the attorney who submitted them. Please refer to the Supreme Court Rule Relaxation Order at: http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/jefis/ge_foreclosure.html for details relating to the signature. 14
The following screens from Microsoft Word are used to illustrate the process of saving a document as an RTF file, however, any word processing application with the ability to create RTF files can be used. To create an RTF file, open a document in Microsoft Word and click File, Save As to display the Save As dialog box. Click the down arrow to the right of the Save as type field, select Rich Text Format (*.rtf) and then click the Save button. This will allow the Microsoft Word document to be saved as an RTF file. Tagged Image Format (TIF) Files To e-file a pleading document such as a complaint, answer or motion, the document can be in.tif format (also known as.tiff for Tagged Image File Format). Probably the simplest method of.tif file creation is to scan in a document and save as a.tif file. The TIF file must be TIF group 4 [2d-fax]. Portable Document Format (PDF) Files To e-file a pleading document such as a complaint, answer, judgment or motion, the document may be created in an Acrobat word processing application and saved as a PDF file. When using a word processing application to create pleading documents it is important to adhere to the following restrictions: Do not protect documents with passwords. Do not include formulas in documents such as an automatic date function. 15
Do not use proprietary fonts on documents. Documents containing passwords, formulas or proprietary fonts will not be processed by JEFIS and will be returned to the attorney who submitted them. NOTE: The letter S followed by a forward slash (/) and an attorney s name can be used as a substitute for the attorney s signature. S/Jane E. Doe The above provides the equivalent of attorney Jane E. Doe s written signature. Efiling Package The JEFIS Attorney Filing Manager uses the efiled documents to create an XML file, which is the final package that is efiled. NOTE:. Those who wish to mechanize the XML file creation process will find the New Jersey Judiciary XML data file at the following link on its website. http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/jefis/getstartedwithjefis_xml_v2.0.2_forclprimer.pdf This manual does NOT provide instructions on creating mechanized XML files. 16
